Sign configurator
Shopfront, lightbox, pylon, decals, banners and more with sizes, materials, lighting and mounting options.
Signage software: sign quotes, online proofs & installs
Sign writers: quote, proof and install without the email ping-pong. More signs, less chasing.
Quote requests turn up with no sizes, proofs go back and forth as v4_FINAL.pdf and installs get sorted over the phone between the EWP hire and the weather. We build signage configurators, online proofs, production boards and install scheduling for sign writers, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for signage software that quotes, proofs and books installs?
A signage business is a design studio, a print shop, a fabrication workshop and an install crew under one roof. Every job is different: a set of window decals, a lit fascia sign, a pylon for a servo or a full van wrap. The pricing depends on size, material, lighting, artwork and how hard the wall is to get to. Most of it ends up in emails, a quoting spreadsheet, a whiteboard in the workshop and the boss's head.
Wollopit builds custom software for sign writers around how your shop actually runs. Customers configure a sign online and see a price. Proofs get approved with comments instead of lost in an inbox. Every job moves through design, print, cut and fabrication on a board the whole team can see. Site measures and installs book themselves onto the right crew. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from sign writers

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole sign shop, on one system.
These are the systems sign writers ask us about most. Each one works on its own. They get properly clever when they're joined up.
Signage configurator
Customers build the sign. You get a proper brief.
Customers pick a sign type, enter sizes, choose materials and lighting, then upload their logo and a photo of the site. They see an indicative price straight away. You get a complete brief instead of a one-line email.
- Sign types you actually make
- Sizes with sensible limits
- Materials: ACM, acrylic, vinyl, corflute and more
- Lit or non-lit with lighting options
- Mounting and install options
- Logo and site photo uploads
- Live indicative pricing from your rates
- Mock-up on their shopfront photo
- Complex jobs flagged for a site measure
- Leads straight into your quote list
Online proofs
Proofs approved, not lost in an inbox.
Every proof gets a link the customer can open on their phone. They pin comments right on the artwork, you upload the next version and the approval is recorded before anything goes to print.
- One link per proof, no attachments
- Pinned comments on the artwork
- Version history side by side
- Approve with name and date
- Deposit requested on approval
- Reminders for proofs sitting unanswered
- Colour and material notes on the proof
- Multiple approvers for bigger clients
- Approved file locked for production
- Full history kept against the job
Production board
Every job, every stage, on one screen.
Approved jobs drop onto a production board in the workshop. Everyone can see what's printing, what's waiting on materials and what's ready to go out, without walking over to ask.
- Stages: design, print, laminate, cut, fabricate
- Workshop TV view
- Due dates and install dates linked
- Materials needed per job
- Low-stock alerts for vinyl and substrates
- Who's working on what
- Job notes and photos
- Ready-to-install queue
- Quoted versus actual hours
- Customer status updates
Measures & installs
Measures and installs that book themselves.
Customers pick a time for a site measure online and your measure app captures everything on site. Installs land on a calendar with the right crew, the right vehicle and the EWP booked, with the customer kept in the loop by SMS.
- Online site measure bookings
- Measure app with photos and dimensions
- Wall type, power and access notes
- Install calendar by crew
- Vehicle and EWP bookings
- Weather reschedules in a tap
- Permit and approval checklist
- Customer SMS on the day
- Install sign-off photos
- Final invoice sent on completion
Wraps & rollouts
Vans, fleets and multi-site jobs without the spreadsheet.
Vehicle quotes start from the make and model so you're not measuring every van from scratch. Big fleet and multi-store rollouts get tracked unit by unit, with a portal so the client can check progress themselves.
- Quote by make, model and year
- Full, partial or signage-only coverage
- Vehicle templates library
- Drop-off and pickup bookings
- Fleet tracked per vehicle
- Multi-site rollouts per store
- Client login to see progress

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your signage business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time in the office, the design room and the workshop, then work out where the hours actually go between enquiry and install.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your sign types, pricing rules, proofs, production stages, crews, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, like quoting or proofs, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things sign writers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers upload their logo?
Yes. Logos can be uploaded and placed on a mock-up of their shopfront or vehicle. The file is checked for type and resolution so you know early if it's not print-ready.
Can the configurator really price a sign?
For the jobs you do all the time, yes. We build the pricing from your own rates for materials, print, fabrication, labour and install. Tricky jobs can show an indicative price and get flagged for a site measure before a firm quote goes out.
Do we have to switch from ShopVOX, Corebridge or ServiceM8?
No. If your job management is doing its job we build around it, adding the configurator, proofs or install booking on top. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Can approvals and deposits be tied together?
Yes. When a customer approves a proof they can pay the deposit straight away. The job only moves into production once both are done, if that's how you want it.
Can trade clients like builders and agencies get their own pricing?
Yes. Trade accounts can log in, see their own rates, reorder past jobs and track rollouts without ringing you.
How much does a signage system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like online proofs or site measure bookings can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most sign writers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
